Things that annoy you when you watch Reading

[WAZZOCK]

The mongs in the East Stand taunting the away fans when we're playing well/leading. All that does is get the away going when in fact we should be backing our own team, millwall at home was an example of this.

Fans leaving early when we're winning.

I got so fed up with people moaning and running their mouths during games, that I've started listening to the radio commentary. It's actually turned out okay, because I have eye sight issues and it helps me with things on the otherside of the pitch.

I bloody hate the BBC Radio commentary too.

The fact that we have seen one Reading league goal down my end of the ground (north stand) since the Rotherham game at the start of November, which was Mackie's against Brighton.

[Pepe the Horseman]

What was it about Mackie's goal that annoyed you?

[TheWhisper]

Kingsley playing in goal when the kids are playing at half time.

A big +1 on this one. There was a kid in his goalkeepers top and gloves clearly looking forward to doing his bit and Kingsley sent the kid to be with the penalty takers and took over in goal.

- Queensley

- The wire mesh at the back of the stands letting the atmosphere escape. Why can't we board that up like so many other new grounds now? It doesn't hurt their pitches! The club recognise we need to improve the atmosphere and that's a sure fire way to improve it.

- Madejski Stadium on the seats in the East Stand. Remove this and add Reading FC. If we didn't play in that ground every other week, you wouldn't know it was ours!

The prat with the clipboard before the game being loud and being proud etc....Time to change the record mate.

[Green]

Out of town identikit stadia.

Lack of real ale.

And have I mentioned ticket prices yet?

the singing brigade in the east stand never having an original song or copying something decent from the prem
-

Steve Clarke's Barmy Army or whovever is the manager's barmy army.
There is nothing Barmy Army about the Reading fans
It should be Steve Clarke's mildy supportive crowd.

Like this! (Apart from the misuse of the apostrophes of course. Now corrected.)

Clearly west stand brigade that prefer the library approach to watching football rather than an expression of support that the East stand generates and does provide a link with the players and coaches as demonstrated so many times, as per SC request to generate some noise.

Don't think that's exclusive to Reading fans, my love x

Seems a bit weird, especially if you're in another division.

Really it's the same thing as you being on here kes, but then you already know that.

It's not. I don't revel in Reading losing as it doesn't affect Chelsea.

Sorry m8

[Pepe the Horseman]

Kes, have you ever celebrated Liverpool losing, even though it didn't affect Chelsea?

[No Fixed Abode]

Kes, have you ever celebrated Liverpool losing, even though it didn't affect Chelsea?

Even if I did - that's completely different to celebrating a team losing who isn't even in your division.

So have you or not?

How's it different if it doesn't affect your team regardless?

To pt it simply, the drummer.

If I knew that the "Back the Boyz" screamer was to be banned for next season I would renew my season ticket now so that RFC had an extra 17 days to (mis) use my money.
Other annoyances:-
The chanting of 106 when opposition fans haven't a clue what happened in our history nearly 10 years ago.
Hal f*****g Robson-Kanu just being in the squad and even worse when he starts.
Replica shirts worn by any adult (decent birds excepted) but that doesn't just apply to RFC.

Come on kes, don't lie, you always revel in Reading losing.

[PeterReadingborn59]

As a player coming out of the tunnel what might make you think this is a club with fans who want to be involved and associated with the club either:
- loads of people wearing bland normal dark jackets or
- a sea of blue and white
If it is not significant then, then why did the club bother issuing blue and white t-shirts at Wembley.

Go on get a replica shirt and wear it with pride, chant and make a noise to try and encourage the team. Football is meant to be about passion and sharing the occasion, otherwise we might as well stay away and watch it alone, using whatever electronic device is available.

People who are NEVER animated throughout the game and don't even cheer if we score or encourage the players in any way. Never quite sure why these people go to games but each to their own I suppose. The woman behind us who listens to the radio and keeps shouting out Premier League scores - "oooh Arsenal are 2 up" - who the fook cares - we're here for Reading you dozy old bint.

The Welsh bloke who used to shout " Oh Jobi" in a Welsh accent all through the game - no matter what Jobi did or didn't do - not sure who he picks on now, think he's moved seats anyway thankfully.

Sweet Caroline - it isn't "our song" anymore than that fooking Big Bad Wolf dirge was.

The Stewards who get in the way just behalf half time and I have to try and get past them at the entrance to the concourse when I want a wee wee.

The lack of atmosphere at most games. The lack of any passion or commitment from a number of the players. The people who sit and chat about everything BUT the game when they are meant to be watching it.

Never hearing from the owners (and not really knowing who the owners are). People always thinking we're going to spend £20 million each season.

At the risk of sounding like Floyd, bloody everything about RFC annoys me at the moment, hence why I'm not renewing season ticket next season.

[East End Lady]

The oldish bloke who sits at the very front of Y24 and hurls abuse at Alex Pearce all game. Now I'm not Alex's biggest fan but this bloke is relentless.
